I think ELF's "Foundation Brush" is substantive enough to stand up to lots of use but soft enough to be comforting. I'm able to achieve an even application of foundation sans streaks. After washing this more times than I can count, it remains intact and ready to go. I simply can't believe that they can offer a brush of this caliber for the ridiculously low price.

As most members have already noticed, for a $1, this foundation brush is definitely worth a try to apply foundation. I've only used this brush to apply liquid foundation and the bristles of the brush is very sturdy and even after many washes it still stays intact quite nicely. The only downside is I can notice in the hard to contour areas such as the nose, it leaves a bit of a streak. But that may just be my foundation and not at all the brush.

If you're just starting to buy makeup brushes, this one is great. While it doesn't have TONS of bristles like more expensive foundation brushes, it has enough to get the job done. They feel soft, not scratchy, and the brush has stood up to repeated washings without any problems. It's a really good brush, worth way more than the $1 you pay. No, it doesn't look super fancy, but it's a good basic brush. I would absolutely repurchase it. I also like using this brush to pat on cream blush!
